Posted by emy1013 on 8/29/2013 1:34:00 PM (view original):I would agree that 99.99% of the time a human coach is preferable to a Sim coach, but that 0.01% the rest of the time the human coach is named Reigny. Those familiar with his "resume" will understand exactly what I mean.

LOLOL. Don't hate on him too much, he boosted both of our winning percentages quite a bit.

I do think it's absurd that being a D1 coach you can get turned down for another D1 job in favor of the sim AI. I can understand the engine not favoring every user coach over a sim, simply because then you can have a first year D3 coach getting some C presitge BCS school, which obviously is not how the system should work. But I would think a coach that has had a couple of winning season at a crappy prestige D1 school should not be getting turned down to a C prestige BCS school in favor of the Sim AI.

It wasn't so much that he boosted our winning percentages so much, but that extremely rare outlier of a game where the RNG was totally in his favor and he hung an L on you that was like a scarlet letter on your resume for a decade or so. I think my all-time record against him is something like 15,347-3 and it's that "3" that still gives me nightmares.

I'm a big basketball fan and have never seen "Hoosiers", and I really don't have much desire to do so (though I will admit the chance I will now see it just went up by small percentage points now that I've read and responded to this thread).

I tried to move to another D- team in a lowly-rated conference, got rejected. I contacted customer service, and was told I needed to have more success in D1 to move.

I considered this inability to lateral silly, but what can ya do.

Agreed, I don't like how you're "damned to your plot" in D1 when you can basically move around as you like in the other divisions...not that I'm one to do that.
